Last week the paparazzi took photos of "Jay Chou secretly meeting a girl in white in Shanghai", but after an exclusive investigation by 67.com they discovered it was actually the work of his body double - the girl in white was indeed Chi Xue from the Mainland China group E-mail, on the side of Jay Chou, he just mocked the paparazzi for mistaking someone else for him, he was very satisfied with his body double's success at playing the paparazzi.
Body double spreads rumours in place of Jay Chou
The news last week of "Director Chou meeting a girl in white at night" attracted the attention of the media, but because the people involved, newcomer Chi Xue and Jay Chou both maintained their silence, the truth could not be discovered. After some investigation by 67.com, in fact the person chatting up girls on that day was not Jay Chou at all, it was actually his body double "spreading rumours in his place", he really took the paparazzi to the cleaners.
Through many contacts, 67.com got through to Chi Xue's phone, she confirmed that the guy she met that night was not Jay Chou: "It's a complete misunderstanding, that was just a friend of mine, he is Jay Chou's body double, he just looks like him, he's in my MV "Drag", everyone can compare for themselves the real and fake Jay Chou. I never thought the paparazzi would take pictures this time, afterwards I shut off my phone for a few days, I didn't want to be disturbed, if I came out and said stuff at that time, it's very easy to be misunderstood as trying to create news - I like Jay Chou a lot too, I don't want to be mistaken for using him to make news."
Jay Chou happy at the failure of the paparazzi
When 67.com contacted this body double, he was just sending a text to Jay Chou. "I'm also very surprised, I'm just ordinary friends with Chi Xue, we just went out for a drink to chat, it's that simple, who would have thought the media would spread it as Director Chou chatting up girls, it's really depressing...…" This guy called Wang Yan said that he met Jay Chou at the premiere of "Curse of the Golden Flower", because he looks like Jay Chou, he sang songs at the premiere as a body double, when filming "Kung Fu Dunk" he was invited many times to go on for Jay Chou, the only thing was that at that time he wanted to participate in the "Fast Guy" competition so in the end he politely turned it down, but if they film a sequel to "Kung Fu Dunk" he is very willing to help Jay Chou.
"When I saw the news in the paper I contacted Jay and explained to him" Wang Yan said, "Because I've been Jay Chou's body double before, I look a lot like him, I felt embarrassed to have caused such a misunderstanding, but my face was given to me by my parents, I can't do anything about it. Last time I went to Tinananmen for fun and I wore clothes very similar to Jay's, a whole group of people were pulling at me wanting autographs and pictures taken, I said I wasn't Jay Chou, I was still surrounded, I only got away after I attracted the attention of the police."
But what made him happy was that not only was Jay Chou not worried about him "attracting trouble", instead he jokingly encouraged him "to just go ahead and do my work", he also hopes his appearance will help himself play the paparazzi: "Jay said it's really bothersome the paparazzi following him, if there were more people like me who looked like him walking about, the paparazzi wouldn't know which one's real then it'll be really fun."
